Where to find the news: Reuters, BBC etc

   As an ex-pat, tourist or business traveller you may wish to read the news about countries you are visiting, have visited in the past or will be visiting - or to get more detailed news coverage of a story in that country.
   If there is a dispute, or if secrecy covers a scandal or royal birth, you might get more news from the bolder newspapers in an adjoining country.
   Today I read on the BBC and Daily Mail websites. I googled the event I was researching, Up came a link to Reuters. Here are some other useful sites in the English language:
